COMMERCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT CASE STUDY:

TD Ameritrade: Commercial Risk Management Workshop Program

Firebird AST provides TD Ameritrade, Inc. with education and training to their associated wealth managers and regional investment advisors to protect against cutting-edge fraud schemes and further mitigate risk to their company and respective clients. Firebird AST developed and delivered substantive education and training on business email compromise (BEC) to more than 100 TD Ameritrade employees in workshop style conferences across the U.S. — including their national conference in Orlando. These sessions focused on the inception of the BEC fraud scheme, identified the various types of tradecraft used to execute it, and provided strategies and tactics to avoid or mitigate it as well as fraud schemes tangential to BEC.
